2018’s New Country, Americana, Alt-Country, Bluegrass and Folk Albums

There is no question that 2017 was a heck of a year for music: Fans got their hands on two new albums from Chris Stapleton, Colt Ford celebrated the release of his sixth studio album, Love Hope Faith, and we bid farewell to the one and only Glen Campbell with his beautiful final statement, Adios. And that's just a sampling of some of the amazing tunes fans were lucky enough to spin in '17.

But as exciting as 2017 was, 2018 has been pretty thrilling as well: The boys in American Aquarium unveiled their latest record, Things Change, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Oates gave fans Arkansas, and Carrie Underwood dropped new music in September.

That's just the beginning, too! Flip through the photo gallery above to learn more about more of the new country, Americana, alt-country, bluegrass and folk albums of 2018. Fans can also keep track of all the release dates below.
